Facebook removes Donald campaign ads with Nazi symbolism.

He enjoys distracting his political opponents with meaningless nonsense because he knows they are incapable of ignoring it.

I, personally, find it very hard to ignore someone who

1. Finds good people among neo-nazis
2. Tries to enlist the aid of various dictators to help him win re-election
3. Tries to strongarm foreign leaders to force them to dig up dirt on his political opponents
4. Talks like a child

That is why he is able to get away with so much.

Being a toddler does not equal achieving anything. It is just being a toddler.

You have something against children?

So what did he mean when he said among some of the neo-nazis in Charlottesville there were "good people".

He LITERALLY asked Russia to look for Hillary's e-mails while CAMERAS WERE ROLLING (which their hackers set about doing that same day). He also LITERALLY asked China for help while CAMERAS WERE ROLLING.

Let me think about it.

I remember in the 90's when homosexual groups frequently used the inverted pink triangle, which had precisely the same origins...

Yeah, they were the group victimized by the symbol and reclaimed it. It would be different if the president started labeling lgbt with pink triangles.

The Nazis used triangles of many different colours, but triangles are not inherently Nazi symbols. They don't appear on any standard list of Nazi symbology.

What are you talking about, according to wikipedia, the historical society, and the resource pages about holocaust history there are documents and systems explaining how the camps used the triangle system to differentiate prisoners.

Yes, but triangles are also used for many other reasons.

Triangles do not appear on the ADL list of Nazi symbols, or on anybody else's list of Nazi symbols that I know of. See Hate on Display™ Hate Symbols Database

And this is not actually a Nazi symbol, in case you were worried:

Nice to know the nazis are meaningless nonsense.

I think that we are in the midst of seeing every extreme overwhelmed by a worse extreme. COVID's mounting deathtoll (due in at least some measure, the Trump administration's disastrous mishandling) coupled with racism's tipping point simultaneously has done an effective job in wiping Trump's previous actions out of our minds. I mean, who remembers the bragging about sexual assault anymore? We almost never hear about his serial philandery with sex workers these days. And who remembers when he openly solicited a foreign dictator to help him win an election? Or even his Mafioso-style solicitation of a bribe from the President of Ukraine! Or even the fact that the GOP actively ignored a mountain of evidence that a sitting US President has been repeatedly seeking foreign interference in our elections! We're on the verge of forgetting about the epidemic itself as we self-immolate in our own racism!

My question is: what new horror awaits us to get us to forget all about the social upheavals from the first half of this year??? YIKES!

I would dispute number 4. I've never heard a child be so rude and foolish on a consistent basis.

Stop insulting children!

The Trump campaign have indicated that they were using the red triangle as a symbol of Antifa, having gotten it from an Antifa T-shirt.

@realDonaldTrump
These horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives. We need more Justices or we will lose our 2nd. Amendment & everything else. Vote Trump 2020!

The president wrote a book on spreading hatred? Can you please provide a reference?

Just today this President made tweets attacking the integrity of those 5 Supreme Court Justices who voted against deporting DACA residents - a decision that the majority of Americans support!

For a President to publicly attack the integrity and attempt to intimidate US Supreme Court Justices is unprecedented in our lifetime!
